three, both for their Magnitude, and for their Conconii- 
tantSj Jupiter having 4, and Sattirn 5, together wath a 
Ring, whereas the Earth has but one, and the other 3: 
none at alJ. Upon Explaining the Phenomena of thefc, 
he more largely infifts, and has therein Summ'd up all 
the lateft and beft Phenomena that have been obferved 
concerning them, as to the 5 Moon's about cho'hc
